The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT), the UK SIP Association (UKSIPS) and the UK Timber Frame Association (UKTFA) have signed up as official show partners for Timber Expo 2012.
Show backer TRADA said discussions were also taking place with several other key associations and organisations.
The partner associations’ logos will feature on the Timber Expo website, in the promotional ezine Expozine and in the official show guide, underlining their significant role in the construction sector.
“We are pleased to be working with Timber Expo this year as an official show partner,” said Christine Harding, BMF marketing manager.
“A large number of our members are involved with timber and we look forward to promoting the show and the Timber Buyers’ Forum in particular.”
The forum links exhibitors with major contractors, developers and clients.
“Timber Expo will provide the opportunity for dialogue, networking and forging new business links,” said TRADA membership and marketing manager Rupert Scott.
“Even in this electronic age, there is no substitute for face to face discussion.”
Timber Expo will take place at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on September 25 & 26.
